Backlighting option coming up!

1/28/2015

Backlighting supported panels are coming soon. Options with these panels are: complete cutout for switch labels, means that you can print these without dual extrusion but that might not be nice. Better solution is using dual extrusion with transparent filament for switch labels. I'm sure that this will need very good precision 3D printer (which I don't have) Also I'm not sure do I have to lower all panels a little so text's would not be too tall, if that will block light too much.

I also added circuit breaker panel switch holes for backlightning brightness adjustment, so it's one step forward to become perfect 3D printable overhead panel.

Hello,

Im very interested in these panels with backlighting. Any idea when these panels may be finished?

Check out my newest post. I'm looking someone to print one test panel so I can continue my work if this idea works.

Hello Martin,

Can I get the SketchUp file from you please? What do you need printed as I may be able to help?

Cheers

Great blog you havve

Welcome!

My name is Martin, I'm from Finland. I bought 3D printer in beginning of 2013 and started learning 3D modeling. Suddenly I came a cross with 737 video which looked like video from real 737 cockpit. After that video I decided that I must build one, but money was the problem. Most realistic simulators could cost from 50k to 200k+ and that is way too much for me. So I started to create my own panels and mechanism using 3D modeling software and 3D printer. It's also one goal to get this available for everyone who has interest to this kind of projects.

Download my android apps and games to support my work. Thank you!
